A Song Is Way Above the Lawn: - Karen Peris [CD]

Written over a period of seven years, the ten tracks that make up 'A Song Is Way Above the Lawn' fulfill an especially melodic collection of beautifully rendered moments that will resonate with both children and adults. They offer a joy that is often poignant, thanks in part to Peris' voice and poetry, and to the emotional, sometimes cinematic nature of the piano, central to the album's sound. Her other instrumentation, chamber-like, with pump organ, accordion, and melodica, along with occasional nylon string and electric guitars, is spacious, allowing room for the listener's own imagination. With the help of her husband Don Peris, who plays drum kit and upright bass, and their son and daughter, who contribute violin and viola to three songs, she has made a timeless album that has a rare and particular atmosphere of its own.
